One has most excellent opportunity
to study "man" as represented by the
average New Workers.. Among the
wealthy classes, very many of them
have the waxy skin, dropsical flesh and
"puffed eyes" that are indicative of
serious kidney affection. "Bright's
disease" Is PLAINLY written on their
faces. Since General Logan's death
the subject of rheumatism Is being dis
cussed. by the medical profession.
Every intelligent person, with any
knowledge OF the human system, is
well aware that IL the Kidneys are In

not, various acids. such as uric acid,
one of the chief causes OF rheumatism,
are left in excess creating deposits that
cause all sorts of chronic organic dis
eases. 1t would seem, therefore, that
rheumatism, like dropsy. is nota dis
ease, but the result OF a disease. and it
is safe to say that IL the stomach and
kidneys are kept in healthfnl condition,
there will be no deaths from rheuma-

General Logan was well aware that
his.disease was of the kidneys,and once
expressed himself in indignant terms at
the folly of doctors treating him for
rheumatism, when it Was the kidneys
that caused his attacks. The high lily.

cities. especially in New York, Is the
chief cause for Bright's disease. and
the aristOcratic trouble known as
rheumatism, even as insufficient and
improper food being about the same re-
suits among the very poor.
The above article, which we repro.
duce because OF its general interest. is
very significant. The public believes
that rheumatism is an effect of dlseaS-
ed blood, this disease being caused by
uric acid of kidney poison. Enough OF
this is developed daily to kill several
men, and if it is not removed by the
kidneys as fast as formed, it gradually
ruins the health.
This fact is scientific demOnstra-
tion.
If doctors do not admit 1t, il is prob
ably because they do not wishto attract
attention to the menace deranged kid

they have no authorized specific for

General Logan knew what his real
trouble was and he recognized the.non.
sense of treating the effects-the real
seat of the disease was the kidneys.
Senator Sittig, of Illinois, whose vote
elected Logan senator after four months
of balloting, tells MS that Logan often
complained to him OF great distress in

that. it caused paralysis, apoplexy, inn.

brain troubles, female complaints and
countless other diseases which would
almost never develop If the blood was
kept free OF uric acid or kidney poison.
These facts the publiS recognizes
